But surely if a team is this big across the board, they should be able to do some things relatively well, and not finish with the kind of record the Raiders appear to be headed for, if what we saw this past Sunday is a representative example of what their level of play is going to be over the course of this entire season.

Who cares how big they are? If they suck, they suck??? So you are telling me if you put Shaq out there... just cuz he's 7-2 300+ lbs they are gonna win?

Bad players, Bad coaching... all around. I hope they finish 1-15... and have the 1st round pick in 2011

First, welcome back, dude! :wavey:

And second, with that kind of size a team should at least be above average in something, such as, for example, run defense, or short-yardage offense; and it's not like they recruited all these big guys from the corner bar or a local construction site: Every one of them was All-American in college football, or reasonably close to it.

But if the Raiders do finish 1-15, Jake Locker just might be the player that turns everything around in Oakland - just like Peyton Manning did in Indianapolis.
